What Sticker.ly does

Sticker.ly is a sticker maker and sticker library for chat apps. Pick a photo, and its Auto Cut pulls the person out of the background so you can add a caption and save it as a sticker. It turns videos into animated stickers too, and exports packs to WhatsApp and Telegram.

Auto Cut that pulls people out of photos
Manual touch-ups when the cut isn't perfect
Animated stickers from short videos
Captions on your stickers
Export packs to WhatsApp and Telegram
Big library of stickers from other creators

If you searched for an app for cutting pics, there's a good chance you want to cut yourself or a friend out of a photo and send it as a sticker. That's exactly what Sticker.ly is for. Choose a photo, let Auto Cut find the person, tidy the edge by hand if needed, add a caption and you're done.

Videos work too. Auto Cut tracks the person through a short clip and turns it into an animated sticker. Finished packs go straight to WhatsApp or Telegram, or you can share them with a link.

Beyond making your own, there's a huge library of stickers from other creators, and you can follow the ones you like. Making and sharing stickers is free. A subscription is available, but the store page doesn't say what it adds. For quick, funny cutouts for group chats, it's one of the easiest options on both iPhone and Android.
